Political parties have used posters in every British general election of the 20th century. This blog looks at some of the trends and oddities in election posters produced during the period. In addition, the blog details preparation for an exhibition on the history of the poster due to open at the People’s History Museum in Manchester in November. I’m a PhD student at the University of Nottingham researching the history of the British election poster. The PhD is a collaboration between Nottingham and museum, funded by the AHRC. All the opinions published here are of course my own.
